Next Everton Manager

[brieverton]

The bumbling efforts to appoint a manager has really led to the focus being taken off the players, and they have responded accordingly by throwing Unsworth under the bus.

I'm at the stage now where I'm happy to accept most of the candidates being mooted simply because the focus has to shift back to the players.

Huddersfield gave Man City a good game on Sunday. I cannot accept that our squad, lacking as it is, isn't good enough to be mid table. What I do accept though is that unfortunately we have the most expensive mish-mash of 'kin houses ever put together at the club. On ability we shouldn't be anywhere near this but on attitude we absolutely deserve our position in the table.

Simply put, I don't trust the players. They need old-school drilling and prodding to the nth degree. I don't like them and I don't have much respect for most of them. Just appoint a manager please for goodness sake.

Is it true you have to pay compo to relegation rivals Palace?

Jesus wept! ... I don't envy your club one bit, it will take years to get back on track and other teams, us included, will not be standing still. If Moshiri needs advice it's to use Sam's appointment to clear out the deadwood behind the scenes and get proper professionals in and not just ex-Everton cronies.

That and id expect another 50 mill of Jeff Schlupp and PVA.

You've got more confidence than me, Dave.

Looks like its going to be perennial relegation scrapper Allardyce, unfortunately.

Sky Bet orchestrated nonsense for me this Allardyce thing.

 

[davek]

Dave our board have panicked and fat Sam is laughin his fat kecks of knowing he can get what he wants

Cant see it mate.

Don't think it is Dave sadly

Cant see it mate.

It's to much in the media now for it to not be true

Look at the fluctuations in the market even now.

We were here two weeks back with Dyche.

 

[matty1878]

hopefully this is one last stunt to flush out the man they wanted, we've been in this position with fat sam a few weeks ago and the odds were at like 1/20

so until you see him at goodison with a scarf and a cup of Bovril, don't panic to much

Well he's flew back from Dubai to take the job mate so panic it is lol oh wait that's what's the board have done with his appointment

The media are always right...

Pop into Rigbys at lunch and you’ll see him sharing a pint with Walsh and Shakespeare.

Topic of conversation: should we offer Defoe a 4 or 5 year contract and how much will actually take to get James Collins

 

[Saint Domingo]

Whoever it is just get it done today Everton.

It's a different feeling to it this time mate, last time he was hawking himself for he job in every way he could, this time he is sitting back because he knows he's played us like a fiddle

I can see the logic in getting Sam for a couple of years. We need to learn how to be hard to beat once again, just how Moyes left us. Throwing a flair manager at this squad now could be suicide. It won't be pretty at times but this club has been badly mismanaged now for a few years so we are where we are. We've brought this on ourselves.

Marco Silva took over a side which hadn't kept a clean sheet in 18 games last season, and kept 2 in his first 3 matches in charge - against Liverpool and Manchester United - while Allardyce took over a side which had gone just 3 games since its last clean sheet, failed to keep one in his first 5 games and only picked up 4 points from his first 8 games. Silva has also managed to keep 5 clean sheets in 13 games with Watford, who only kept 7 in the whole of last season. But Silva is seen as a liability and Fat Sam as a guarantee of survival and defensive stability. You're being hoodwinked.

One of the pundits on ESPN, I forget who, said the other night that we could've got Silva but wouldn't pay what was
being asked. He has an exit clause in his contract, apparently. It's the fact that we balked at the money that bothers me.

As for Sam, I wouldn't be as dismayed as some here if he came - he's done well at other clubs, imo - but he'd be a
short term fix and I'd like someone who we think could do the job long term.

I doubt that there's anyone available right now who fits that description.

What's that Periera bloke a lot us were keen on a few years ago doing these days?

He doesn't have a break clause

But Hull went down and Palace stayed up.
